Altitude locates us in a relative position in respect to the surface of our planet. It therefore addresses fundamental questions such as ground and gravity and presents a precise framework for a conscious process of designing an architectural tectonic proj ...
The optimal use of forest energy wood, industrial wood residues, waste wood, agricultural residues, animal manure, biowaste, and sewage sludge in 2010 and 2030 was assessed for Europe. An energy system model was developed comprising 13 principal fossil tec ...
Biofuel–bioenergy production has generated intensive interest due to increased concern regarding limited petroleum-based fuel supplies and their contribution to atmospheric CO2 levels. Biofuel research is not just a matter of finding the right type of biom ...
Energy demand continuously increases what contributes to higher emissions of GHG. Moreover, the primary energy sources like coal, natural gas and oil are depleting. To manage this problem, the scientists have worked on the different possibilities of renewa ...
Over the last decade, the production and consumption of biofuels increased rapidly worldwide, in an attempt to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, diversify transportation fuels, promote renewable energy, and create or maintain employment, especially in ...
In order to increase the power autonomy of implantable sensors, energy harvesters can aid and, in certain cases, substitute implantable batteries. The paper describes two promising techniques among the approaches presented in literature: biofuel cells and ...
The design of biofuel processes is realised using a computer aided process system design methodology that aim at defining the type and the size of the technologies, the way they are interconnected and the way they are operated for a given socio-economical ...
The research project “Structural Timber Fabric: Applying Textile Principles on Building Scale” follows an innovative and experimental approach to develop novel lightweight timber structures. It examines structural and aesthetic qualities of textiles and te ...
Within the global challenge of climate change and energy security, hydrogen is considered as a promising decarbonized energy vector to be used in electricity production and transportation. In this paper, the thermo-chemical production of hydrogen by natura ...
The design and operation of energy systems are key issues for matching the energy supply and consumption. Moreover, in the present context of finding ways to decrease CO2 emission, poly-generation technologies, together with the integration of renewable en ...
